Little Switzerland Caravan Site in a unique position, beneath the famous white cliffs of Folkestone. The cliffs are known as the Hellfire Corner – aptly named following its battering during The Battle of Britain. The site is a former WW2 base enjoying breathtaking views across the English channel and over the Warren Country Park, accessible via a well-maintained path. Folkestone is only 15 minutes' walk away from the campsite. The campsite is ideal for an overnight stop on your way to the continent. The Channel Tunnel is only 5 minutes away from the site and Dover Ferry Port is only a 10-minute drive away. There is a toilet and shower block as well as free wifi and a washing-up area.
